Guest 305240 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I have a chance to score a complete 5 speed setup out of an 84 mustang. It includes flywheel, clutch bell housing shifter, ect, All for $500.00! The guy who has the first crack at it is himing and hawing that it's too much. I say heck yeah I'll take it!

Guest 305240 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 LOL, I love your sig hitman. I also found a narrowed 8 3/4 Mopar rear. It's setting in a early Datsan pickup. 4:10 posi. Looks like I'm going to be headed for the drag strip also. After these 2 finds, I guess I got to play with the engine a little. The stock 5.0 prolly won't be able to cut it. 347 stroker time? Whatever I add on it, it will be carbed. Then again, I found a real nice 260 on the cheap, $400.00. I can do that the chevy route. Man I love this second childhood.

TomsCoupe Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 $500 is quite a bit for a used 5 speed out of an 84. I got a complete 5 speed out of an 92 for $300 canadian(thats how much they go for around here). it came with everything you mentioned, plus a driveshaft and crossmember.

Hitman47 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 305 maybe you should buy my 5.0 I got. I pulled it from a 86 gt so i payed 300 for it but i ported the heads got a edelbrock performer and comp cam. I took the heads off and the pistons looked real good so i basically clean and inspected it and it looks good. So if you want a little more power package I could let it go for 750$ thats how much i have in it. But it sounds like for the differance of 250$ you get about 30-50 hp more. I actually think more. These heads would flow around 190 cfm @ .500 lift if i had to guess. And they flowed 140-150 stock. The Gt-40 p heads flowed 192. I heard that pro ported e7te heads [stock 5.0 heads] you get 215 cfm So im guessing that I will get 190ish flowing. Im not a pro head guy but i`ve done some nice work on alot of heads. Been doing it on chevys since i was 15.I ported a set of camel humps and increased its flowing by 85 cfm. Any ways You would get gt-40 "class" heads with a nice "hot" cam and real nice intake manifold on a good bottom end for 250$ more, Actually i was going to list it on ebay today, But i`ll wait for your response.

Guest 305240 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I appreciate the offer Hitman, really I do. It's just that I only get 250 a month allowence to spend on my car stuff from my disability check. I'm going to have to live with what I have until I sell a few of my Z cars. One good thing is they are relitively rust free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 305240 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 The deal on the tranny fell thru as did the narrowed mopar rear. Oh well, it isn't like I don't have anything to play with. I see my 72 starting to come to life more and more every day. Getting the driveshaft fabbed up is next on my adjenda. I can't wait until it moves under it's own power.
